Lol y’all crack me up. Bobby said they were going to start cutting the supercharger kits on Wednesday.

Quote:
"They were" means that they are not going to be doing that on Wednesday, so when are they going to be cutting kits? |
sometime in the year 2087
|
I thought they were going to do testing and install on test cars before going into production. Has this even happened yet??
|
They are cutting the preproduction kits. 2 of them to be exact. Once testing is complete on those revisions the production units will be cut and ready. They stated they will do a pre-order once the pre production numbers are in.
|
They are cutting the lower plenum first then the fuel rail stack and the adapter plates.
|
Cutting on the lower plenum begin tomorrow (wed) as mentioned earlier.
|
Any pics?
|
Taking pre-orders........... sounds fishy

RJ MFG Supercharger kit Feeler...

No pics, a complete miss on every date given, and Bobbys prior fraud conviction and he wants people to give him money up front? Are we due for another gtm style meltdown? |

Bullitt is simply relaying the information we have given him. Everyone is aware of SAM and GTM's short comings and NO ONE wants to be associated or be in the same boat as him. We will be putting together a Pre-order Group Buy. That will not be released until testing is done and we are ready to produce the production kits. Yes we have missed earlier dates. Why? because we have been putting our existing customers first and clearing out our backlog. What did this mean? We couldn't use our machines to cut the kits... We supply work for several industries with a CNC abilities. Some of those projects came through during this development and while we would love to keep on one project and see it to fruition in a short time. We also have to keep the doors open. We haven't taken a dime for the kits. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars to develop this kit and we are about to spend a lot more right before Christmas. So while you may be skeptical do to other failed businesses. We (RJM) have not done anything to warrant the accusations above. As for Bobby's past his issue was related to taxes and not paying on time. He paid his employees first and he was made an example of because of it (Many years ago and not associated to RJM). Also, There are more people involved in this business venture other than Bobby. Everyone of them with a clean record and a history of running successful businesses. There is no Ponzi scheme, there is no rob from peter to pay paul, and there is no shady business here. Now I know this may have come across as direct and some may take it as harsh but we want to nip this kind of thing in the butt. We are very direct open and honest about our schedules and what we are working on. We constantly post videos and pictures on our facebook page that detail what is going on in the shop. Bullitt is doing us all a favor by keeping you guys informed. He had an instrumental help in designing the kit and was not paid for it (His Choice). He wants to see this kit as much as you guys do and has a future project he is working on that will have this kit as well. Please remain patient. We are starting the cutting of the lower manifolds tonight. This may take a few days as we are confirming the tool paths and we keep an eye on each operation to make sure everything is copasetic. By doing this we can confirm machining speeds and can estimate the overall machining cost time. This will help us finalize the overall costs. and get the price as low as possible on the production kits. Thank you, The RJM Team |
Employing Bobby is cause enough to cast a shadow on the rest of the company. He's screwed many members here. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas, dude.

To be honest chuck what the F is up your a$$ that you have to try and derail this thread? If you don’t want to buy a kit then don’t... I wouldn’t even be associated with this if it was even remotely shady. Especially given how I and many others got F’d over by GTM... Stop talking out your A$$ and stay on topic of the thread... |
Guys keep it civil.
Chuck we have been very open and honest. Please point out where we have been shady... I can guarantee you cannot. We haven't taken anyones money and ran. We have produced every product ordered and we have had positive customer service since we opened our doors. |

Chuck, I got several people their products and money refunded. So judge me all you want. I got people their money and product and I still lost tens of thousands. I don’t give a flying F what you think dude. I played mediator and didn’t know they were going under. In fact Sam died in the middle of mediating for people...

At this point you have made baseless claims with no supporting evidence. We will leave it at that so that the thread can stay on topic. We continue with our statement there was no fraud and no wrong doing. In fact many of our customers come from doing business with Bobby in the past. I guess time will tell. We are here to stay and develop leading edge products. |
Quote:
RJM, sorry for the derail. Good luck. |
I don't understand are you going to buy this kit? You already over and over bring up the same ****, so it can't be just you trying to warn others about past dealings of someone making this kit. At this point your just being a whiny bitch just for the sake of being a whiny bitch.

I believe what he is trying to get at is that the people who are interested in watching this kit come together aren’t interested in the past dealings. These guys were cool enough to allow us peeks during development after asking about possible interest in the kit. There is no logical reasoning to question their ethics. No money has changed hands. So nobody cares. I did notice you failed to mention that you didn’t like the hood that doesn’t exist yet. As for me, I’m still patiently waiting the finished product so I can decide my build path.

Not suggesting that RJM has anything to do with Bobby's past. But his presence at your company is a big red flag for many. You hired him, so you get to deal with any fallout from his past transgressions. It might not be fair to RJM, but that's life. Put out a quality product and I bet you these concerns die a quick death. But without any real updates, this thread is starting to look unpleasantly familiar (i.e. GTM, AAM, etc...). |
If anything, hopefully people will do their research before purchasing anything. I think some members are just trying to inform the community as much as possible.
No one gave Gamma a free pass because they still employed Sam. |
For those looking for an update this was from last night. We started on the lower plenum then found out we had a slight offset off on the cut. i.e. we were cutting un-needed raw material. we are working on it again today and will be posting up more updates. Again no vaporware and we have been 100% up front and honest.

Nice Work!

I don't post a lot but I saw everything go down with GTM and all that went with that. But the way they are doing business is the complete opposite. I for one am excited af about this kit and cant wait to buy one. They have been very clear about everything.
|
Update: should be finishing up operation 1 on the lower plenum tonight (topside). Also bobby’s Phone is taking a giant crap so he is getting a new one tomorrow. So no pics tonight unfortunately
|
Operation 2 is the bottom half.
|
Friday night Update:
Few more passes to go on the top side then we jump to the bottom side and finish the lower plenum. https://scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.net...e7&oe=5ACF8E8E https://scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.net...8f&oe=5AB77048 |
Top side is finished. Now we flip it over and finish the bottom and runners!

[QUOTE=RJ MFG;3715441]Friday night Update:
Looking great. My concern with it (even though it's a first prototype) is the seats where the bolts or nuts will be sitting... Is there enough room for a standard 1/4 or 3/8 10mm socket to fit in there to get the proper amount of torque on the nut/bolt. I think Nissan's stock TQ with that plenum is around 16ft/lbs or something. |

UPDATE:
We are cutting the second unit tonight at a faster speed (closer to production speed). We are focusing on the first operation (top side). And should have it done no later than Friday. We hope to have both units completed by Friday and starting on the (FRS) Fuel Rail Stack. This stack should go fairly quickly as it is mainly 3 axis work and contains all our ports. We will post up pictures later this week. |
